            Do it.

            After 3.5 years back to back contracts I found it very refreshing to do so this year.
            We had a great summer concentrating on other things, travelling, camping a few festivals, cooking, baking etc.

            In fact anything but IT....................well, apart from the start up the Mrs has been working with part time.

              Benched for the whole year.
              Spent loads of time with the wife & kids.
              Did most of the jobs around the house that I had been putting off.
              Went on Holiday twice.

              New contract starts 3rd of Jan 2017

                No. Multiple clients and a notional number of days per month as retainer.

                  247, back to back contracts with a few days off here and there (working between xmas and new year as well) , holiday already booked for 2 weeks early next year so looks like 2016 will never be beaten in my lifetime!

                    A year on the bench separates out the proper contractors from the rest of us.

                    Something like 240 days T&M (more than usual), plus a few FFP jobbies. Good year, overall.
